dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 65e6a96a65 Say what the application is doing, in one bar and one list
Every background job reported into a window property of its own —
library-thumbs-done, library-pin-total, library-syncing — which only the
grid ever read. A pin download that outlived the view it was started from
drew nothing at all once the user opened an image, and there was no answer
anywhere to "what is this busy with", because the answer was spread across
eight properties nothing collected.

They report to one register now (ui/dr-ui/src/activity.rs). It publishes an
aggregate, which draws a three-pixel bar across the top of the shell in
every view, and a row per job, which the settings page lists: scans,
thumbnail batches, pin and open downloads, sidecar uploads, the sync and
the trash. Failures stay on the list until they are cleared; routine
successes do not, or a scroll would bury them.

The handle removes a still-running job when it drops, so a worker that dies
mid-transfer takes its row with it rather than leaving the bar sweeping for
the rest of the session.

Also carries in-flight work from a parallel session — the drawn icon set
and the dr-pipeline ops split. dr-pipeline's build script does not compile
at this commit; ui/dr-ui does, with clippy clean and its tests passing.

A cull is thousands of decisions. The grid already bound 0-5, P, X and U so
the judgement itself needs no mouse, and then made the photographer reach
for one to move to the next frame — which is most of the gesture, most of
the time. Arrows now move a cursor, shift+arrow extends the selection,
Home/End and PageUp/PageDown cover ground, and Return opens what the cursor
is on.

The cursor is a library ordinal, not a row of the loaded window. The window
is a few screenfuls around wherever the user is looking, so a cursor held as
a row would stop at its edge or keep counting into cells belonging to other
photographs; walking out of the window reloads it around the new position,
exactly as scrolling does. This is the argument the selection already made
by keying on ids rather than rows.

The anchor had that fault for real: it was a window row, so a shift-click
after a scroll extended from whatever image had since drifted into it. It is
an ordinal now, and apply_press takes the window's offset to map between the
two. A range longer than the loaded window truncates to what is loaded,
since selection is by id and an image the catalog has not been asked for has
none.

The pointer and the keyboard share select_row so the two cannot drift apart.
The one deliberate difference: a plain arrow collapses the selection onto
the cursor, where a plain click on an already-selected cell leaves it alone
— that exception exists so a multi-image drag can start from one of its
members, and there is no drag behind a keystroke.

The grid scrolls to the cursor only when the cursor leaves the viewport, and
then by as little as will do it. Reusing the scrub's seek() would put the
cursor's row at the top on every press, which makes a row unreadable as you
walk along it.

The Android job's "Verify minimum API level" step has never verified the
minimum API level. It took the first `*.so` anywhere under the target
directory, which is a host proc-macro from debug/deps — an x86-64 object
built by the runner's gcc, whose .comment section cannot mention Android
and so can never contradict the expected value. It now reads the artifact
under the target triple, compares against MIN_API parsed from the
Dockerfile rather than a second copy of the number, and fails on a
mismatch. Both sides are checked non-empty first: two failed parses would
otherwise compare equal and pass, which is the same silent success in a
new costume.

The Android image installs one SDK package per layer and keeps the
output. sdkmanager is a JVM program that aborts when it cannot get memory,
and the single `> /dev/null` step reported that as a bare "exit code 134"
while a retry re-downloaded everything that had already succeeded.

tools/ci-local.sh runs all four jobs — desktop, android, layering,
traceability — against the host toolchain, which is pinned to the same
1.92.0 CI installs. Its matrix check compares regeneration against the
working tree rather than against HEAD: CI starts from a clean checkout, so
git's answer is the right one there and reports every local run stale here.

The rest is rustfmt across the workspace, and the clippy findings that
surfaced once it did: manual_contains in dr-thumbs and collections_ui, a
map iterated as pairs for its keys, an index loop over a slice, and two
runtime assertions on a constant now made at compile time.

Fills in `image_cache`, which the previous commit's "On this device" filter
read but nothing wrote. Also carries in-flight work that shared these files:
the Android TLS root store, the settings page, and a regenerated
traceability report.

# Two populations, deliberately separate

An original is kept here for one of two reasons, and conflating them produces
the exact failure the feature exists to prevent.

**Pinned** originals were asked for. Pinning a collection before a trip is a
promise, so pinned rows are never evicted and never counted against the
budget — a cap that could silently delete a pinned trip would make pinning
worthless, because it could not be relied on without checking.

**Passively cached** originals are a side effect of working: develop already
downloads the whole file, so keeping it costs no bandwidth and saves the
entire transfer next time. This population is what the budget bounds, evicted
least-recently-used, because it otherwise grows until a day of culling fills
a disk.

Sharing one budget would let a large pin starve the passive cache, or let
browsing evict a pin. They are separate.

# What was built

`dr_catalog::cache` owns the bookkeeping — held tier, size, last use, pinned
— and writes the bytes; deciding to download stays with the caller, which is
what keeps a crate with no network out of the network's business. Files are
written to a temporary and renamed, so a dropped connection cannot leave a
truncated file recorded as a complete original. They are named by image id,
not filename: `Photos/IMG_0001.CR2` and `Trips/IMG_0001.CR2` are different
photographs, and a flat cache keyed on the name would serve one for the other.

`spawn_full_fetch` became read-through. A hit is a disk read; a miss stores
what it downloads and enforces the budget. A cache that cannot be opened is a
miss, not a failure to open the photograph.

Pinning writes intent — `tier_desired` — without downloading, so the button
responds immediately, and `spawn_pin_fetch` fills it in sequentially
afterwards. Sequential because these are tens of megabytes each: the lanes
that make the thumbnail sweep fast buy little against one connection's
bandwidth and cost a great deal of memory. A pin interrupted by a lost
connection resumes from where it stopped.

Schema v5 adds `pinned` and `path`. `pinned` is a column rather than something
inferred from `pinned_by_rule`, which is ON DELETE SET NULL and so cannot
answer for an image whose rule was deleted. A v4 catalog migrates in place;
existing rows default to unpinned, the safe direction.

The budget and "keep opened originals" come from the settings page rather than
a constant, and are applied at startup rather than only on change — a cache
capped at 2 GB last session would otherwise spend this one filling to the
default. Turning off keeping leaves what is already cached readable: those
bytes are paid for, and refusing them would re-download images sitting right
there, including pinned ones.

Also removes a doubled `#[test]` introduced in the previous commit.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 cd75e5a4c6 Run the library from local data when the server is unreachable
Also carries in-flight work that shared these files: the zoom structure-key
fix in the adjust pipeline, nearest-neighbour filtering past 1:1, the
timeline scrub marker correction, the 423-Locked retry in the metadata
sweep, and the thumbnail size-class migration.

# Offline mode (FR-CAT-9)

The app previously assumed the server was reachable and treated its absence
as a series of unrelated per-operation failures. A launch without a
connection produced an empty grid, even with a complete catalog on disk and
every thumbnail already in the shards.

Reachability is now inferred from traffic the app was already making, rather
than probed for. `RemoteError::indicates_offline` draws the line that makes
this possible: a dead connection is offline, a 403 or a 500 is not — the
server answered, so blanking the library over one forbidden file would be a
worse error than the one being reported. `Reachability` turns those outcomes
into a state, so a library browsing happily never issues a probe at all.

Going offline takes one failure, because the user is already experiencing it.
Coming back requires evidence — a completed scan or a fetched thumbnail —
with a capped exponential backoff behind the manual retry, so twelve sweep
lanes failing together do not schedule twelve immediate probes.

What keeps working: the catalog opens even when the scan that normally
provides it failed, so the grid fills from the last successful scan.
Thumbnails come from the shards. Rating, flagging and collecting are catalog
writes that never touched the network. What stops is opening an original that
was never stored locally, and it now says so in those words instead of
reporting "network error: connection refused" over a photograph.

Work that is pure network is refused rather than left to fail slowly: the
metadata sweep, derived sync, and sidecar writes. The sweep would otherwise
spend a timeout per image across the whole library while the progress bar
implied something was happening. Deferring sidecars is a real gap rather than
a hidden one — a rating made offline reaches its sidecar only when that image
is judged again while connected — and it is recorded as such at the call site.

# The "On this device" filter

A chip beside the rating filters, narrowing the grid to images whose original
is held locally. It composes with the rating terms rather than replacing them,
so "five-star frames I can actually edit on this train" is one filter. The
predicate is SQL, like the rating terms and for the same reason: the count in
the header has to agree with the cells drawn.

It reads `image_cache.tier_actual`, which nothing writes yet — the next
commit fills it. Until then the chip honestly reports zero.

`Tier` gains an explicit on-disk encoding. The variants are ordered by
generosity and the derived `Ord` invites reordering them, which would
silently reinterpret every cached row; the round-trip test is what holds the
two in agreement.

The marker was drawn from a bucket index while a click reported a
fraction of the track. Those are different quantities: bars each occupy
one equal slot whatever span of time they cover, and the index snapped
to the containing bucket's start edge, so the marker landed at the top
of whichever slot held the instant — close enough to pass on a dense
uniform axis, plainly wrong on a sparse one, and never under the click.

Send the fraction instead, computed as the exact inverse of the
interpolation the scrub handler applies, and position the marker from
it. Marker and click are now the same quantity by construction.

Scrolling the grid also left the marker behind: only an explicit scrub
ever wrote the position, so the axis claimed to say "when you are" and
stopped being true the moment the wheel moved. Map the first visible row
back to a capture time and move the marker with it.

That runs on every scroll event rather than behind the window-reload
guard, which fires a few times per screenful and would make the marker
advance in jerks. Only the marker moves, not the bars: rebuilding those
means a GROUP BY aggregate over the library, far too much for a flick,
and they do not change as the grid scrolls anyway.

dtourolleandClaude Opus 5 d49b4b41de Add thumbnail size classes and grid zoom; fix the scrub ordinal
The grid now zooms, which needs thumbnails at two resolutions rather than
one, and exposed a scrub that landed in the wrong place.

**Two thumbnail size classes.** `ThumbSize::Grid` (256px, ~10 KB) and
`Large` (1024px, ~45 KB), with the class part of the store key so both
coexist. Storing everything large would take the reference library from
~200 MB to ~860 MB, and shards sync, so that is transfer cost on every
device rather than only disk. A store written before the class existed
migrates in place: its entries are all grid-sized, which is what the
column defaults to, so nothing already fetched is discarded.

`forget` now drops every size for an image. Reading a single row left the
other class's bytes on the shard's tally for good, sealing it early on
space nothing occupied.

**Grid zoom.** Ctrl+wheel and pinch resize cells between 90px and 420px in
geometric steps, so the gesture feels the same at either end where a fixed
pixel step would be imperceptible at 400px and violent at 90px. Crossing
256px switches to the large class, so a zoomed cell is sharp rather than
upscaled. Columns and window capacity already derived from cell size, so
the grid reflows for free.

**The scrub landed about half a library too high.** It counted only dated
images while the grid shows all of them — 10,733 dated against 19,841
rows — and ignored `shadowed_by`. Verified against the live catalog: the
old formula gave 10,887, the new one 10,732, the true grid position
10,732. The scrub's count and the grid's window must use identical
predicates and ordering; a test now fails if they diverge.

**Timeline gestures are continuous.** Scrub and pan were quantised to
whole buckets, so a slow drag did nothing until it crossed a boundary and
then jumped a month. Both work in fractions of the visible span now, and
pinch-to-zoom arrives for tablet, where there is no wheel to reach the
axis with.

The pinch accumulator was wrong on first writing: it took at most one step
per update, so an 8x spread — three doublings — yielded one zoom level.
`log2().trunc()` now extracts every whole doubling and carries the
remainder. The original test asserted the wrong number and defended it in
a comment, which is worth remembering: a test can entrench a bug as
readily as catch one.

dtourolle 8ad5c86ff9 Add the library, collections, and trash views; theme from style.yaml
The UI gains the views the catalog work was building toward: a windowed
library grid with ratings and flags, the collection tree with drag-to-add,
and trash with restore. derived_sync pushes thumbnail shards and the catalog
snapshot to the server's derived folder.

Tokens now have one source of truth. build.rs reads style.yaml and generates
theme.slint into OUT_DIR, which answers every existing
`import { Theme } from "theme.slint"` unchanged, because Slint resolves
imports against the importing file's directory first and the include paths
after. Generating into OUT_DIR rather than beside the hand-written Slint is
the point: a generated file sitting in ui/ looks exactly like the files
around it that are meant to be edited, and an edit to it would survive until
the next touch of style.yaml — a bug that hides for weeks. build.rs fails
loudly if a stale ui/theme.slint exists, which would otherwise shadow the
generated one silently and make every palette change vanish with no error.

The palette moves to near-neutral dark with achromatic signalling, so the
accent means "modified" or "active" rather than "heading". Shared components
land in widgets.slint: a token that binds several values into one concept is
a component, not a row in a YAML file.

Adds an optional live-style feature that makes the tokens in-out so they can
be written at startup — a feature rather than the default because it stops
the properties being constant-folded.

serde_norway is the YAML crate: serde_yaml and serde_yml are both deprecated,
and its mappings preserve insertion order, which is what lets the generated
Slint keep the token ordering the author chose.
